Harry's Film Openings Analysis Evaluation.

Harry has straight away spoken about how effective the title sequence is, and how the use of font and colour adds in to creating tension. He has spoken about how the simple titles add to the mood of the opening. However, I think this part could have been more detailed. I think he should have spoken about the colours used and how they make the opening darker - or happier. With this detailed analysis it would allow us to think about what colours we could possibly use in our opening.
Harry has spoken in detail about how the music that is played in very typical of a thriller - it is high pitched and fast. Harry has also noted how whenever a dark situation arises the music will start to fade in - the music acts like a signifier for when a dark moment is going to happen.
Harry has briefly spoken about the pace of the editing, but I think he could have gone into more detail about the speed of the cuts. This would have allowed him to talk more about the type of tension that is being created and how the director achieves it. Also, in this section Harry has used very good terminology and shows a strong understanding about the different types of shots and editing skills. I think that to improve this section Harry shouldn't have described as much of what is happening, but spoken more about the types of shots that are used.
For the Mise-en-Scene section, I think that Harry needs to talk more about the costume that the actors are dressed in. This will link into the codes and conventions of a thriller and would help in our research. However, Harry has described the setting and the props in great detail, showing his understanding of the opening
